WARMING-PAN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 308,126, dated November18, 1884.

Application filed December 26, 1883. No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OSEPH BARTON, of the city and county of Jackson,and State of Michigan,have invented a new and useful Improve- 5ment in Warming-Pans, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to a device by which live coals may be so confinedas to be used for warming beds safely without danger of burn- IO ing orinjuring bed-clothing or other articles.

Heretofore warming pans in which live coals are used have consistedsimply of an iron, tin, or copper. vessel dish-shaped, into which thecoals are put and used with a sin- I 5 gle cover. This is objectionable,because the coals, coming in contact with the vessel, overheat both thepan and cover, and cannot be used without danger of damaging whateverthey may come in contact with.

2 The object of my invention is to so confine the live coals as togovern the heat derived from them, thereby avoidingdanger of damage fromoverheat, and at the same time to secure the best effects of the heatfor the pur- 25 poses needed.

I11 the drawings, Figure l is a plan View of my improved warming-pan.Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, and Fig. 3 is a verticallongitudinal section.

The invention consists of the pan E, with 0 feet d d d one-eighth inchhigh, and made. of such size as to fit into the pan F, with an openspace of one-eighth of an inch on all sides. It is confined there by acover, which, when closed,leaves a like space between it and 3 5 the panA. The cover is fastened by the spring-catch a. The whole should be madeof sheet-copper or galvanized iron.

What I claim as my invention is- The pan E, in combination with the panF, 40 the feet d d d, the cover, and the catch a, as and for thepurposesmentioned.
